Look Good At The Gym

bottoms up

When you're scheduled to work out your legs and/or do cardio, it's wise to wear shorts. They allow a greater range of motion and better air circulation. You'll find a wide variety of shorts that offer support, comfort and style.

In order to look good, shorts should fall a little above the knees and fit nicely around your buttocks and legs. Save the extremely loose fitting shorts for boxers and basketball players; they lack sex appeal and look kind of sloppy altogether on a regular guy working out.

Once again, when the time comes to choose, keep it simple by minimizing the amount of colors in your gym outfit. If you only have one pair of shorts, make sure its color is neutral so that it can easily match most of your T-shirts and sneakers.

Great fabrics for shorts are a mix of cotton with spandex or polyester. These stretch materials make the shorts fit perfectly, offer great support and look great too.

Whatever shorts you decide to wear to the gym, just remember to keep your bathing suits for the pool and your jean shorts for gardening or painting the house.

stay on track of things

For days when you're working your upper body, wear track pants; they're stylish, extremely comfortable and designed for intense wear and tear from training. When they are worn with trendy running shoes, the right track pants can be worn as everyday casual wear. Once again, keep the colors to a minimum and opt for a straight cut.

Stay away from track pants with a narrow finish, because they won't fall well on your running shoes. Track pants come in every style and color, so just pick a pair that will easily match the rest of your training gear. Recommended colors are black, gray and navy blue, as they blend nicely with most colors and aren't likely to get stained or dirty.

If you want trendier track pants, look for drawstrings in the waistband and/or around your ankles. Other neat accessories are zippers, buttons and different pockets. Thicker and modern fabrics such as nylon will give your track pants more durability while adding to your trendy look.

All sporting good manufacturers carry a line of track pants, so you shouldn't have a problem finding a pair. Apart from your sneakers, track pants will probably be the most expensive item so be ready to spend a little more for them.

running for your life

A whole article could be devoted to choosing great-looking sneakers. Again, simplicity and comfort are key. Minimize the amount of colors and flashiness, and buy shoes that will serve their purpose. If you are a runner, don't buy DKNY running shoes just because they look good. Instead, opt for running shoes that are specifically designed for running.

Just remember that a great way to look stylish is to match and combine the right colors, which of course, should be kept to a minimum. Now get your stylish butt to the gym!
